Some people don’t think that this show is very funny. It’s not really supposed to be that funny, it’s meant to be an insight into the life of a comic, just like Seinfeld was originally envisioned before it became “a show about nothing.”

This is exactly the kind of programming you can’t get on cable or satellite and that is exactly the point, as evidenced by the featurette lampooning a studio exec and one gets the impression that Jerry Seinfeld has met the real life Jack Donaghy before.
